I asked my dog what he thought the best in man

I said, "Why do you think my question funny?
4
And where would you be without my money? "
5
I said, "There may be some quality in us you must treasure."

"It's despair," he said, "of which your money is the measure."
7
Walk like a dog, like anybody can

Walk like a dog, talk like a man

But don't ask for admiration and don't ever ask me why. "
